Altura Dry™ moisture management

Altura Dry™ Technology is engineered to move excess moisture away from the skin for evaporation or migration, keeping you dry and comfortable, maintaining a consistent core body temperature. This helps you deliver your optimum performance with reduced muscle fatigue.

Coldblack® technology

Coldblack® is a technology designed for garments that are used in intense sunlight for extended periods of time. Coldblack® actively prevents the fabric from heating up as well as providing protection from harmful UV rays. For this double action sun protection, coldblack® both absorps and reflects these rays. The coldblack® technology guarantees a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of at least 30 for all colours and fabrics.

Altura ErgoFit™ 3D

Altura make careful use of patterning that is engineered to fit while in a riding position. This attention to riding posture allows for a more comfortable riding position with a better fitting product.

Altura Draft Venting™

Strategically located venting zones allow for enhanced breathability and thermoregulation whilst in the riding position.

About Short Sleeve Jerseys

Short sleeve cycling jerseys are cut to provide a close fit whilst riding, they are made from stretchy, breathable materials, which help transfer moisture away from the body and keep you comfortable on the bike. They are best combined with a quality base layer on hot days and can be worn under a jacket on cooler days, making them a good choice as part of a layering system as well as a single item. When choosing a jersey consider how much venting you would like and look at the zipper lengths, the longer the zipper the higher the ventilation choice you will have. Cycle Jerseys also feature open pockets on the rear for carrying items such as energy gels, energy bars or inner tubes.

Magazine reviews for Altura Podium Elite Short Sleeve Jersey

Review from
Road Cycling UK

The jersey comes from Altura's flagship Podium collection and the fit is geared towards the racer. That's not to say you have to race in order to wear it, of course, but it's a close fit, particularly under the arms.

The dropped tail stays securely in place while riding and the full-length front zip means you can let plenty of air in when things really warm up or on a long climb.

The rear of the jersey is made from an even lighter, mesh-style fabric which certainly helps to keep your back cool, and it's comfortable to wear with or without a base layer.

The arms are finished with grippers which are comfortable and effective, though they're a little shorter in length than other jerseys I've worn and tested of late.

In conclusion...

All in all, the Altura Podium Elite jersey is lightweight, good value and, despite its racy intentions, gives a good nod to visibility, while also offering plenty of storage for day-long rides. The fit could be refined a little but, all things considered, there's really not much to complain about and a lot to praise.

At the back there are the five open pockets, plus a zippered pocket for valuables. The varying sizes of the rear pockets ensures you have a number of options as to exactly where you want to keep your ride essentials, as well as being able to effectively spread the load – or really load up for longer rides.

Altura's Podium Elite is a high-performance jersey for warm summer days. The lack of bulk and weight is in no small part down to Altura using a combination of fabrics including a fairly open mesh, which it calls 'Altura Draft Venting', on selected panels to help keep you dry. The mesh panels form the entire back of the garment (excluding pockets) and the two panels along the sides of the rib cage. Decent venting indeed, but watch out for the sun and wear sunscreen if you're going to be wearing this with nothing underneath.

The fabrics are clingy, like most lightweight jerseys, which results in a very trim fit. The front of the jersey is cut much higher than the rear – Altura has designed this for an aggressive position on the bike.

Sweat works its way through the fabrics quite quickly on warm days, and is wicked away rapidly – something that's also evident in drying time once you've finished your ride. Having used this on 20-mile commutes where I tend to work fairly hard, I've been happy to put it on at the end of the day, finding it to be as dry as a bone.

In conclusion...

Good-looking, close-fitting, race-inspired, lightweight summer jersey

Rating: 8/10

Review from
Cycling Plus

Altura's SS Elite combines performance with comfort, making it ideal for all cycling duties. It's generously sized, especially around the waist, so if you're a svelte racer who likes a more fitted cut, look elsewhere. The thin lycra front and mesh rear panels provide a cool and comfortable ride, while the fabric's Coldblack technology reflects heat and the full length zip helps with temperature regulation. Five pockets provide ample loading capacity. The result is a good jersey for training and sportive rides, if you want function without a compromising fit.

In conclusion...

Cool, comfortable and versatile jersey. Highs:Generous sizing with modern features. Lows: Not ideal for svelte racers.
